You’re a music fan in the East Bay. All you need to know is who you can see play this weekend and where to see them. Who’s Where?<\/a> is your weekly concert listing offering everything you want with nothing you don’t. For locations to all these venues, see the handy-dandy map<\/a> at the bottom of the page.

San Francisco rock band The Stone Foxes will be bluesing it up at The Starry Plough in Berkeley on Saturday. (via Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is a good week to kick this thing off because there’s a lot going on in the East Bay this Friday and Saturday. The biggest name is R&B scion Natalie Cole<\/strong>, who is doing a doubleheader on Saturday at Yoshi’s (as well as a third show on Sunday night). In its current incarnation as a blog for Paste Magazine,\u00a0Crawdaddy<\/a>\u00a0is bringing one of San Francisco’s most promising and noteworthy rock bands\u2014The Stone Foxes<\/strong>, fresh off a triumphant set at Outside Lands<\/a>\u2014to The Starry Plough’s intimate space. Birdmonster<\/strong>, a San Francisco indie rock group that captured my attention long before I moved here, is nesting at the Stork Club. Beyond that, there are all sorts of intriguing oddities, ranging from traditional Zimbabwean thumb-piano ensembles to improvisational electronica hiding out among the listings.<\/p>\n

For now, this feature will focus exclusively on live (non-DJ) music in Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda on Fridays and Saturdays, but if this little experiment proves useful and\/or popular, I’ll see about expanding.<\/p>\n
